EDITORS COMMENTS
Constant Troyon's captivating drawing, "Cows and Sheep under Trees," transports us back to the idyllic countryside of the 19th century. This monochrome masterpiece, created around 1850, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of rural life. The scene is set in a lush, rolling landscape where cows and sheep graze peacefully beneath the shade of trees. The charcoal and white chalk drawing, with touches of red chalk, is executed on a blue gray laid paper, adding depth and texture to the image. Troyon's depiction of the farm animals is both realistic and rustic. The cows, with their heavy, curved bodies and expressive eyes, exude a sense of tranquility, while the sheep, with their woolly coats and alert expressions, seem to be engaged in a quiet conversation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he has rendered the trees, with their gnarled trunks and intricately textured leaves. This drawing is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the past, and a reminder of the simple pleasures of rural life. It is a scene that has been repeated countless times throughout history, yet Troyon's unique interpretation captivates us with its timeless beauty. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this important work, which continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
